IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
Symptoms
- Server swapping was observed in a 2 nodes RAC 11.2.0.4.4 Database running on AIX 6.1 TL9.
- Each server has 30GB physical memory and 24GB SWAP Space.
- Oracle GoldenGate is setup to replicate the data to a DWH. GoldenGate uses ACFS to store its files (binaries, trails, config files etc.).
- After a server is rebooted, its performance starts to degrade due to memory leaking and the server finally runs out of physical memory and swap space. This usually takes a few weeks.
- It usually happens on the machine where golden gate is running.
vmstat output from affected server from problem time:
